Pyrite Stone
For centuries, Pyrite’s blessings have been enjoyed by people in the form of boosted
confidence, wealth, and prosperity. Pyrite is even called the “Fool’s Gold” or “मूख का सोना” in
Hindi because its golden metal-like appearance has often led many people to mistake it for
gold.
There are many benefits to wearing Pyrite, like the blessings you receive from the Sun
(Surya) and the Mars (Mangal). In addition to that, people for centuries have worn or kept
Pyrite in their environment to keep away negativity and invite prosperity. Still, the belief that
Pyrite invites wealth into the wearer’s life steals the spotlight. You’d be surprised to know
how much more depth there is to this extraordinary stone.
What is the Pyrite Stone?
The word Pyrite was derived from the Greek word “Pyr”, meaning fire. This can be linked to Pyrite’s masculine energy. It is said to be masculine because of its protective and strong nature. Scientifically, Pyrite is a mineral formed from iron and sulfur (FeS₂). This combination gives Pyrite its natural golden hue, inviting the warmth of the Sun and the courage of Mars (Mangal).The Pyrite is also said to be a powerful stone because it activates the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura). Many people use it to meditate, while others harness the powers of this exceptional stone to bring more wealth and prosperity into their lives. Famous for its protective energy, Pyrite not only helps in manifesting material success but also shields against negative forces.

Factors Affecting Pyrite’s Price and Quality
- Colour : The colour and texture of a stone affect its price directly. Original and untreated Pyrite will look naturally radiant and have a golden, brassy shine. Hence, making it more costly compared to treated Pyrite stones that are too shiny or too dull due to artificial coating or excess moisture. Also, avoid buying Pyrite that is pale-yellow; you might find stones like these at a lower cost, but at the risk of them being fake counterparts.
- Clarity and Texture : In terms of clarity and texture, a good Pyrite looks and feels solid. Being an opaque mineral, the light can’t pass through it. The stones that have a brassy-yellow, glistening metallic shine are sold for more costly prices compared to the ones that have a dull or painted appearance. So next time, while paying for a Pyrite stone, you should know exactly what to look for and how much to pay for it.
- Carat Weight : Carat weight naturally affects the price of any gemstone that you are out to buy. It makes sense that the higher the weight of the stone, the higher its price will be. Other than the weight of stone, this is also because larger and well-shaped stones that are untreated are usually rarer to find.
- Origin : At present, Russia, Spain, and Peru are the largest contributors to the Pyrite market. In addition to that, India’s Bihar yields almost 90% of the total production of this stone, making the Pyrite produced in these regions much more valuable and expensive.
- Treatment & Enhancements : Untreated and natural Pyrite is sold at a much higher price compared to the ones that are coated or treated for more shine. That is because artificial Pyrite are very common in the market, and it is not very strong in terms of vibes and energy. We would suggest if you see any sellers selling Pyrite stone or jewellery that is colour-coated or treated with metallic paint, you should avoid it
- Cut & Shape : A well and precisely cut Pyrite with a higher number of facets sells at a higher price than a raw piece of the same stone. Especially, a well-faceted oval cabochon of Pyrite is more valuable than any other form.
- Authenticity Certification: Authenticity Certification affects the price of the Pyrite in a very minor manner. It’s as easy as understanding that a genuine stone that has been tested and passed for authenticity will sell for a higher price than a stone that has never been tested. Plus, if the stone has never been tested by International Gemological labs, there is a very high chance that it would be a cheap copy
